It was kinda hard to get through and confusing to read, ngl。

Judge Dredd is back and this time he's up against the four horsemen of the Apocalypse。 This was a great story since we are just starting back from 2020's COVID 19。 I enjoy Judge and wish they would write more books with him。 Judge Dredd is back and this time he's up against the four horsemen of the Apocalypse。 This was a great story since we are just starting back from 2020's COVID 19。 I enjoy Judge and wish they would write more books with him。 。。。more

Unlike other recent mega-epics, which had been seeded (sometimes very subtly) within earlier strips, this one seemed to come out of nowhere, and I can't help wondering whether it was a desperation tactic to draw people after the hit of lockdown (which, to their credit, 2000AD kept publishing right through, unlike US comics companies)。 Sadly, its main effect on me was (especially in combination with the lacklustre Hershey series immediately preceding it) to start me wondering whether Rob Williams Unlike other recent mega-epics, which had been seeded (sometimes very subtly) within earlier strips, this one seemed to come out of nowhere, and I can't help wondering whether it was a desperation tactic to draw people after the hit of lockdown (which, to their credit, 2000AD kept publishing right through, unlike US comics companies)。 Sadly, its main effect on me was (especially in combination with the lacklustre Hershey series immediately preceding it) to start me wondering whether Rob Williams needs a break from Dreddworld, because having done some brilliant work (Low Life, Titan, The Small House), he feels a lot like he's running on fumes here。 2000AD's anthology format has always meant it can do crossovers without having to spoil the surprise by trailing them, but where something like the recent meeting between Dredd and Zombo made me squeak with delight, this one elicited a sighed 'Huh?' when it introduced Ichabod Azrael, star of Williams' not-exactly-missed supernatural Western series, bringing an angel's head and a message of doom to Mega-City One。 Having the Four Horsemen loose just feels like duplication in a world that already has the Dark Judges, although granted things do pick up a little once we start meeting them, where Williams brings his fondness for savage satire into play – so Famine is in Brit-Cit, piggybacking on a scheme which had planned to make the poor able to survive without food。 Alas, that's as good as it gets。 A further crossover appearance lends the whole thing an unwelcome air of Helter Skelter which, given End Of Days already had strong Judgment Day vibes, leaves it recalling two of the weaker Dredd epics to date – and out-sucking both。 Flint and Macneil, two of the best current Dredd artists, do their best to make it drag less, but unlike Joe himself, there's only so much they can achieve against impossible odds。 The climax deepens suspicions that the whole business is basically retreading the Dark Judges, except rubbish, while also recalling the piss-poor conclusions of Mark Millar's inglorious stint on Dredd。 In particular, there's an attempt at a 'Gaze into the fist of Dredd' moment which is so transparent it's just embarrassing。 One long-time 2000AD reader friend quit the title during the course of this, and frankly I don't blame him; had it not been for some of the other strips with which it coincided (the Halo Jones-esque The Out; the macabre chuckles of a new Caballistics spin-off; even a 3riller whose likenesses provided the unexpected spectacle of Anthony Reynolds from Jack facing off against Jacob Rees-Mogg), I might well have been tempted to do likewise, especially since these progs also featured the return of Sinister sodding Dexter。 。。。more

Terrible, really terrible。 Everything was wrong。 Bring back T B Grover

Probably the worst Dredd story arc I have ever read。 Utterly terrible。 I have no idea what the writers were going for apart from ripping off Preacher and trying to outdo the Apocalypse War, Judge Child and Judge Death。 Juvenile rubbish in the worst possible sense。

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it, click here。 Putting this one on spoilers since I only read it from the 2000 AD publication, and the collection itself isn't out yet。I always vastly preferred the more low-key stories about day-to-day lawmanning, such as The Pit, over these massive world-changing epics like Necropolis or Day of Chaos。 This one seemed so much like it would fall solidly into the latter camp。。。 but then again, billing itself as The Absolute Final End Of Humankind And Everything Etc。 simply was not going to happen - especially w Putting this one on spoilers since I only read it from the 2000 AD publication, and the collection itself isn't out yet。I always vastly preferred the more low-key stories about day-to-day lawmanning, such as The Pit, over these massive world-changing epics like Necropolis or Day of Chaos。 This one seemed so much like it would fall solidly into the latter camp。。。 but then again, billing itself as The Absolute Final End Of Humankind And Everything Etc。 simply was not going to happen - especially when John Wagner wasn't involved - and sure enough, it ended up not doing much anything at all for the setting。But it does feel like it should have done something, doesn't it? It was basically an apocalypse scenario, after all, narrowly averted。 There should be some manner of fallout, but I honestly doubt there will be。 Even Judgement Day was just utterly forgotten once it was done - billions died and it warranted barely a mention afterwards。Like Judgement Day, it's a crossover - this time with the Grievous Journey of Ichabod Azrael, which, unlike Strontium Dog, I've not read, but probably should。 This one didn't leave a terribly good impression of him in my mind。 The horsemen are each a little more inventive - especially the last one, with a cute if predictable twist - and I like how the Russians were allowed to bring one down, reminding us that Dredd isn't the only capable person in this post-apocalyptic hellscape world。 Also, some screentime for Giant is always appreciated。 At the opposite end, Anderson was a pretty low point - her psychic abilities had little rhyme or reason or internal logic to them。Honestly。。。 the more I think about it, the more I liked this story, or at least didn't dislike it。 It takes the character away to places I don't prefer, but it pulls it off better than many others of his。 It might even have been a better crossover than Judgement Day was - at least it didn't leave us with billions of entirely forgotten corpses - though I guess I'd still prefer it if the next crossover was a bit more low-key and less a super special This Changes Everything thing。 Oh, there was the one with Rogue Trooper that was kind of like that。 Maybe ABC Warriors next? 。。。more
